The Dilbert comic strip distributor Andrews McMeel Universal has announced it is severing its relationship with creator Scott Adams because his recent comments on race were not compatible with the company’s core values. In the Feb. 22 episode of his YouTube show, Adams described people who are Black as members of “a hate group” from which white people should “get away.” Various media publishers across the U.S. denounced the comments as racist, hateful and discriminatory while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work.
New graffiti has appeared on Red Mountain Expressway promoting "Patriot Front", a group the Southern Poverty Law Center calls a designated hate group.
